Historical Quotes
PORTS OF THE SUN: A GUIDE TO THE CARIBBEAN, BERMUDA, NASSAU, HAVANA AND PANAMA (1937)
- by Eleanor Early
- Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company
Pg. 289 (HAVANA): "There is a bar at the airport, and the customs doctor bought me my first _Cuba Libre_, which is a drink that Cubans love, though I cannot tell you why. It is made of Bacardi and Coca-Cola. The Coca-Cola kills the Bacardi, which makes it silly if you happen to like Bacardi."
12 July 1938, CATERING INDUSTRY EMPLOYEE, "Cocktails for Two by James E. Hickey," pg. 33, col. 2
"The Cuba Libre is zooming up to new popularity heights already this summer...It is rum and Coca-Cola, and the prim Coca-Cola people don't like the idea so much."
